Collaboration In The Cloud
Improving Collaboration between people and between organizations is no longer optional if you want to survive in today’s hyper connected business world. Speed of change, unpredictability and the increasingly social nature of the marketplace make collaboration instrumental to your company’s ability to differentiate. New ways of collaboration are starting to take place within your company, across value chains and in the individual social domain of your employees. At the same time, new architecture and delivery models are bringing many new collaborative tools within reach of every person in your organization, with or without your knowledge or control. On the technology side, a volatile mix of acronyms like SOA – Service Oriented Architecture, SaaS – Software as a Service and Web2.0 is brewing that is drastically changing our view on the role and value of Information Technology. If left to chance there is little hope for success: you need a strategy. In this book we address the changes and opportunities that come with this new business world that is starting to show all around us. In it we talk about autonomous, bottom up organizations where innovation and collaboration are part of the culture. We discuss Value Chain 2.0, where it is about quickly establishing combinations that offer value to the marketplace. It is about crossing boundaries and taking the full benefits from Cloud Computing and anything available As A Service, from platform to complete business solution.

Open for Business
Innovation is the engine of the economy, prosperity and progress. In our era of computers, Internet and smart software, innovational inspiration is encroaching from all directions. In order to exploit the new business opportunities that are becoming available, organizations are being compelled to open themselves up to the masses. This means first and foremost that ideas must be fosterd via intense interaction with the outside world: partners, knowledge institutes, competitors, and individuals. Expert users play a crutial role in this dynamic environment. This trend, which started with open source software development, is now clearly spreading through all economic sectrors.

SOA For Profit
This book serves as an introduction to SOA for both Business Managers and IT. It helps to explain and reiterate the concepts underpinning Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) which may already be familiar to experienced IT professionals. The discussion develops to show how, as standards have developed and reached industry-wide acceptance, the technology has also been maturing to the extent that tools, technologies, methodologies and best practice(s) are now available to mitigate risk for SOA adoption. This book helps to de-mystify SOA, supporting the theory with real-world experience to provide practical guidance on how to deliver successful SOA based projects.
